⭐️Our New P1 Stars ⭐️

We had a fantastic morning welcoming our new Primary One children. Such a brave, well mannered and excited group of children who were a pleasure to have in our school.

There was lots of excitement as the children got to meet their teachers, visit their classroom and new school for the first time.

We can’t wait to see you back in September wearing your new school uniform! 🏫 ✏️ 🤩

A picture paints a thousand words...
What an amazing piece of recycled artwork. Thank you to everyone who brought in bottle tops throughout the school year and to Mr Carville for drawing our template. Well done to our amazing Eco Council team for putting in lots of hard work to produce this fine piece.
